More then a bike movie

Bought this for the bike footage, but it is much more and really about coming of age and making those first big choices in life. A fun movie with a positive message

BREAKING AWAY FROM ROCKY

The movie portrays a group of local Indiana childhood friends who seem content on staying together forever in their youth; no ambition, no goals until they are pitted against the priveleged "rich" college students attending IU. This is perhaps one of the best feel good sports movies ever made. It ranks up there with Hoosiers. It does have a borrowed interest from Rocky to an extent but it works. And you will probably guess how the movie ends but it still works because the real ending is not the race. Oh did I mention it is about cycling? This movie predates Lance Armstrong by a few decades. Who knows, perhaps it inspired him?

This is a movie that I watched with the entire family because we could. The entire family loved it. I give it 5 stars for this genre.

Last summer of adolescence

In short a super movie about growing up and breaking free in midwest America.
Loved the comradeship of the boys "the Cutters" and the star whose adolescent, happy-go-lucky, was such a comic relief and nicely counterweighed by the gloomy Dennis Quaid as young as you ever seen him on film.

The soundtrack was especially memorable and never has Puccini been put in such good use in a film before.

I have seen many movies, in many different genres and this is in my top ten for sure! I cannot but smile thinking of this movie.

Awesome film!

I remember watching this movie as a kid and loving it. Seeing it again as an adult brings back great memories...a great family film.

I saw this at the movie theater when it was issued as well as its and pieces of it on television over the years. My wife and I both loved it and we bought this DVD in order to be able to share it with our daughter and her family since our local Blockbuster does not carry it. Enjoy this classy family movie.

This charming, Academy Award winner (1979, Screenplay) cycles high on comedy as four friends come to terms with life after high school. When top-notch cyclist Dave (Dennis Christopher) learns that the world's bicycling champions are always Italian, he attempts to turn himself into an Italian, driving his parents (Barbara Barrie, Paul Dooley) crazy. But everything changes after he meets the Italian racing team-an encounter that ultimately leads him and his friends (Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley) to challenge the local college boys in the town's annual bike race.
